Why Do We Need To Replace Missing Teeth?

Even if your missing teeth are out of sight, replacing them poses important structural benefits that cannot be ignored. The surrounding teeth will tip, or over-grow into the empty space, and you can expect some degree of bone loss to occur if the missing teeth are not replaced.

What Different Types Of Dentures Are Available?

If all of your teeth are extracted you would wear a conventional denture once your gums have healed. If you lose all your teeth, you will be fitted with a full denture. A partial denture is when you have some of your natural teeth still remaining in your mouth.

If you need to replace the teeth in your upper jaw, you would wear an upper denture. This would cover your palate. A lower denture is fitted to replace the missing teeth in the lower jaw.

What Are Dentures Made Out Of?

Dentures are made from acrylic. It is possible to attach dentures to dental implants in order for them to fit the mouth more securely. These are known as implant-supported dentures.

It is expected that your dentures will need to be replaced or relined over time, as your jaw bone will shrink and the denture will rock. You can also expect a certain degree of shrinkage to take place, as your gum heals after the surgery. It is possible that you see your dentist regularly so that your dentures can be adjusted. Your dentist will also need to check your mouth for signs of decay.
